Work begins on 150 new homes for Landkey

Work has begun on a 150-home development at Landkey with almost a third of the properties designated as affordable.

A ground breaking ceremony has been held to mark the start of construction at the Tarka Coombe development on the edge of the village, which is being built by Allison Homes South West.

The estate will include a mix of one to four-bedroom homes, all taken from the new Allison Homes house type portfolio with 30% designated as affordable housing.

The first homes are due for completion early next year, with the development expected to be finished by the end of 2028.

John Phillips, build director for Allison Homes South West said: “After securing planning, we’re thrilled to commence works on-site. Breaking ground is a significant milestone for our team and the local community.

“This marks the start of delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes that will meet the needs of a growing population in and around the Landkey, Barnstaple and Bideford areas.

“As construction progresses, we look forward to creating a place to live that supports community wellbeing, enhances the natural environment and contributes positively to the local economy.”
